Publication number: 20110256394Abstract: When a film that is fixed to a surface of an adherend by means such as adhesion and rolled into a cylinder by heating is grasped by a grasping tool or adhered to a holder in order to remove the film from the surface of the adherend, the grasping tool or holder applies a force to the rolled film to urge the film toward the surface of the adherend. If the rolled film is pressed flat by the force, the area of contact between the film and the adherend increases and so does the strength of adhesion between them. Consequently, the film needs to be re-grasped or reattached to the holder or a larger force is required in order to peel the rolled film off the adherend. To solve the problem, there is provided a film that includes a thermally shrinkable base material, an adhesive resin layer and a non-thermally shrinkable base material stacked in sequence and has the property of rolling up into a cylindrical roll by heating and not automatically returning to the original shape after the change into the cylindrical roll.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2011Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventor: Akinori NISHIO

Layer 2 may be a moisture barrier, such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE). Layer 3 may be an oxygen barrier, such as a co-extruded film having a polyethylene (PE) layer, an EVOH layer, and a second PE layer. Layer 4 may be a relatively thin layer of a rigid film, such as a PVC or polyester. In this arrangement, Layer 2 may protect the contents of the package from external or atmospheric moisture. Layer 2 may also protect Layer 3 from atmospheric moisture, thereby helping to preserve the effectiveness of Layer 3 as an oxygen barrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2010Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: Klockner Pentaplast of America, Inc.Inventor: Steven J.
